What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
We handle our Roof Replacement & Installation in Lehigh Acres and the full scope of roof replacement work across Fort Myers, from complete tear-offs to re-decking and new underlayment. Every job starts with a walk-through of what’s failing, what can be saved, and what the materials options actually cost. No vague line items, no “we’ll figure it out later” pricing.
Complete Tear-Off and Re-Roof
This is the most common roof replacement we do in Fort Myers. We strip the existing roofing down to the deck, inspect the wood for rot or termite damage, replace compromised sheathing, and install new underlayment, flashing, and roofing. Homes in older neighborhoods like Dean Park and Pine Manor often have decking that’s never been exposed since the original build, and we regularly find soft spots that would compromise a new roof if left in place.
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most budget-friendly replacement option for Fort Myers homes, and they hold up well when properly installed with the right underlayment for Florida’s humidity. We recommend shingle systems rated for 130 mph or higher wind uplift, which matters more here than the shingle’s cosmetic pattern. Our crews install shingle roofs with full synthetic underlayment, not the cheap felt that degrades in Fort Myers heat.
Tile Roof Replacement
Concrete and clay tile roofs are common across Gateway, Pelican Preserve, and Mediterranean-style Roof Replacement & Installation - Cape Coral and Fort Myers communities, and they require licensed, experienced crews. Tile is heavy, and the underlayment fails long before the tiles do, which means a full replacement involves removing and reinstalling tiles over a new roofing felt or synthetic underlayment. We’ve been doing tile roof tear-offs in Fort Myers for over a decade and understand the permitting and inspection requirements Lee County enforces on these jobs.
Metal Roof Replacement
Standing-seam metal and metal shingle systems are growing fast in Fort Myers because they handle hurricane season better than almost anything else and they last 40 to 60 years when installed correctly. Metal costs more up front, but homes in flood-prone areas like Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel often justify the investment. We install metal roofing over solid decking or purlins depending on the structure, and we always quote the full system, not just the panels.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Replacement
Fort Myers has plenty of mid-century homes and additions with low-slope roofs, and these need specialised materials like modified bitumen, TPO, or coated metal systems. The failure points on flat roofs in Fort Myers are almost always around penetrations, drains, and parapet walls where water pools and sits. Our team replaces full low-slope systems with proper taper and drainage so water leaves the roof instead of finding a seam to seep through.
Storm Damage Roof Replacement
When a named storm or afternoon microburst tears off sections of roofing, Fort Myers homeowners need someone who can assess, tarp, and quote the replacement quickly. We document damage thoroughly for insurance claims, meet with adjusters on-site, and provide written replacement quotes that stand up to insurer scrutiny. If your roof has missing shingles, lifted tile, or water intrusion after a storm, call (239) 453-7751 and we’ll get a crew to evaluate it.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
While roofing system manufacturers matter, the materials we pull off most Fort Myers roofs are a mix of brands. We install replacement roofing from manufacturers whose products perform in Southwest Florida’s specific climate, including systems from PGT, whose roofing underlayments and components are designed for impact zones like Lee County. PGT is better known for impact windows, but their roofing-adjacent products are installed to the same Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards that govern our window and door work.
We also install roofing systems that tie directly into the exterior envelope alongside Mr-Glass and Therma-Tru products you may already have or are adding to your home. A roof replacement in Fort Myers is the right time to assess how skylights, roof-to-wall flashing, and exterior door transitions are performing. Since we’re authorised installers for these brands on the window and door side, we understand how the roof plane intersects with the rest of your home’s weather barrier. Whether you have any of these brands or a completely different setup, we can handle the replacement from tear-off to final inspection.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Granules collecting in gutters or at downspout bases. Shingle granules are the UV shield for your roof, and when they start sloughing off into Fort Myers gutters, the shingle substrate is baking in the sun. If you see what looks like coarse black sand building up around downspouts after heavy rain, your roof is in the end stages of its life.
- Water stains on ceilings or upper wall corners. A water stain inside a Fort Myers home means the roofing system has already been breached somewhere. In our experience, by the time the stain shows up, the leak has been active long enough to cause decking damage, which is why a full replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated patching.
- Daylight visible through attic roof boards. Go into your attic on a bright afternoon and turn off the light. If you can see sunlight coming through the decking, water is getting in too. This is a structural red flag we see frequently in Fort Myers homes built before the 1990s, and it means replacement, not repair.
- Missing, cracked, or lifted tiles after a storm. Tile roofs can look fine from the ground while individual tiles are cracked or shifted out of position. Lifted tiles let wind-driven rain reach the underlayment, and once the underlayment is compromised, the leak works its way down into your ceiling. If you’re missing any roof covering after a storm, get it assessed before the next rain.
- Roof age exceeding 15-20 years for shingles or 20-30 for tile underlayment. Fort Myers sun and humidity age roofs faster than the national averages. A shingle roof past year 18 is on borrowed time, and a tile roof’s underlayment typically fails well before the tiles themselves. If your roof is in this age window and you’re seeing any other sign on this list, it’s time for a replacement conversation.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
Roof replacement is a construction project, not a handyman visit. Here’s exactly how we work in Fort Myers, so you know what’s happening from the first call to the final inspection.
- 1
Free on-site assessment and roof measurement. We come to your Fort Myers home, climb the roof, inspect the decking, flashing, and covering condition, and take precise measurements. We check attic ventilation, drainage patterns, and any existing leaks. You get a clear picture of what’s failing and why.
- 2
Written, itemized estimate with material options. Before any work starts, you get a line-item quote showing material costs, labor, disposal, and permits. We don’t do “allowance” pricing that balloons later. We present shingle, tile, or metal options if your structure supports them, with realistic cost differences so you can choose what fits your budget and your home’s long-term plan.
- 3
Permit pulling and scheduling. Lee County and the City of Fort Myers require permits for roof replacement. We pull them, schedule the inspection, and coordinate with your HOA if one applies. We don’t start work until everything is filed correctly, because failing an inspection is the most expensive kind of delay.
- 4
Tear-off, decking repair, and installation. Our crews strip the old roof, assess the deck underneath, and replace any rotted or delaminated sheathing before the new system goes on. We install new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and the roofing material itself, all to current Florida Building Code for wind uplift. Daily cleanup and magnetic nail sweeps keep your property safe.
- 5
Final inspection and walkthrough. When the roof is complete, the county or city inspector performs the required inspection. We walk the roof with you afterward, show you the finished work, and confirm every detail from the estimate was delivered. Your 36500-Day Done Right Promise warranty documentation comes at the end, in writing.
Safety note: Roof work involves height, structural exposure, and heavy materials. We do not recommend homeowners climb roofs to inspect damage themselves, especially on two-story Fort Myers homes or tile roofs that can be slippery even when dry. Our team has the training, harnesses, and insurance to do this safely. If you suspect damage, call us and stay off the roof.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Fort Myers?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot Fort Myers home runs between $9,500 and $16,000, including tear-off, disposal, underlayment, and new shingles. Tile roof replacement on the same size home typically lands between $18,000 and $30,000 depending on tile profile, decking repair needs, and whether the existing tile can be reused. Metal roofing falls in the $16,000 to $28,000 range depending on metal type and panel profile.
| Roof Type | Typical Fort Myers Cost Range (1,500-2,000 sq ft) | Life Expectancy in Florida |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingle | $9,500 – $16,000 | 20-25 years |
| Concrete Tile | $18,000 – $26,000 | 40-50 years (underlayment replaced more often) |
| Standing-Seam Metal | $16,000 – $28,000 | 40-60 years |
| Flat/Low-Slope (TPO or Mod-Bit) | $8,000 – $14,000 | 20-30 years |
What moves the price in Fort Myers? Roof size and pitch first, then decking condition. Homes in older Fort Myers neighborhoods with original decking often require sheathing replacement, which adds material and labor. Chimneys, skylights, and complex rooflines add flashing details and time. The only way to get an honest number for your home is a free on-site assessment with written numbers. You can avoid overpaying by comparing line-item estimates, not bottom-line totals. Our estimates are free, and we offer a free second opinion on any written quote you’ve received from another roofer. Call (239) 453-7751 to schedule yours.
